Markets, Market Culture and Popular Protest in Eighteenth-century Britain and Ireland

Within its very specific lane — the historiography of popular protest and E.P. Thompson's moral economy framework applied to 18th-century Britain and Ireland — this is a rigorous and well-regarded scholarly contribution, with strong case-study diversity from food riots to turnpike resistance to the Irish famine of 1799. This is a book for historians and graduate students, not general readers, and it earns solid marks squarely within that intended audience.
